3) Once a buyer understands that the marketplace is the exclusive source, they trust the marketplace more, and stick around longer. Whatever the reason, saying no to Afternic works for BrandBucket, our sellers, and our buyers.

I understand not everyone has the financial flexibility or courage to experiment for a month or two without Afternic. If you do, use your domains that are on a marketplace that is built for discovery (since registrars offer no discovery, and do not promote aftermarket names.)

(And before anyone gets too riled up about this post, I’m obviously joking. I’m trying to point out parallels between NFTs and domain names — two classes of digital assets.)

Happy 20th birthday to my favorite comic strip @achewood. It was link #1 on my custom Yahoo! home page (before browsers had tabs). It's why I love watching squirrels, and why "doing a thing" is an understood phrase in my house. Thank you, Chris, for all the chuckles.
